Heavily based on Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typographic Style, Bringhurst is the perfect theme for those who love typography and want to honor their content. Purchase it today for only $9.
For the typographer in all of us, this theme comes preloaded with styles like small-caps and align-center so you can easily format your content in the most beautiful way possible, without advanced knowledge of HTML or the need to add an external stylesheet. Consult the CSS Typography Guide for the full list of styles.
The layout is built upon a grid whose units are based on the golden ratio. The lengths of measures and proportional relationships between positive and negative space are inherently harmonious.
Details often overlooked in other designs are given careful scrutiny in Bringhurst, such as a consistent and uniform vertical rhythm, hanging punctuation, and the prevention of typographic widows (thanks to Dave Cardwell’s jQWidon’t). Small links such as the permalink page infinity symbol (∞) are given enlarged hotspots for easier clicking, too.
A wide variety of appearance options means that Bringhurst can be easily customized to fit your style. All colors can be changed, and we’ve included different display options for your content. Plus, it’s Disqus-ready out of the box.
